How do I know what coffee I’d like the most?
Surely, by tasting. If you like them sour, look for sour flavours in the description, and if you like them sweeter, choose sweet flavours. You’re likely to get it right. We work with coffees from different origins, with very different personalities and flavours.
Roast for filter or espresso?
For espresso or moka and/or if you drink it with milk, we recommend the espresso roast. On the other hand, if you use a filter coffee machine or if you drink it on its own, automatic or manual, the filter roast is better.
Ground or whole bean?
In beans it keeps longer and maintains its qualities better, but ground it also holds up very well. We grind differently depending on the coffee machine. If you are really hooked on coffee – and we hope you are – it is more than advisable and a great investment to buy a manual or automatic grinder.
How often do you roast?
Mondays (or the first working day of each week) to ensure freshness. Orders that arrive on Fridays after 14:00 are roasted on the following Monday.
When will my package arrive?
Between 1 and 2 working days. The courier collects orders on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12.30. As soon as it leaves here, we send you a tracking number by email so that you can follow the shipment at all times. For more details, please see our delivery policy.

Tips to make good coffee. From the most to the least important.
- Basic: good coffee. Not too high natural roast, arabica and traceable.
- Water. Don’t use water you wouldn’t drink, it doesn’t get better with coffee. We always recommend water that is neither too hard nor too soft (between 75 ppm and 250 ppm), without smells or flavours, we get a bit crazy. In our coffee shops we opt for filtered tap water, but in other places we have worked with osmosis or mineral water.
- The coffee machine: clean, as clean as possible.
- If the coffee is freshly ground, the better, it is always more aromatic and has more flavour. It lasts for 60 days. After that it does not spoil but it starts to lose strength.
- Keep in its own bag with the zip tightly closed, in a cool, dry place, away from strong smells and sunlight. It is a hoax that it keeps better in the fridge, coffee is very porous and absorbs odours from other foods.
- Do not overheat it. Once brewed, coffee tends to oxidise and deteriorate quickly. Don’t reheat it even if you have a hangover.
